Something Different...Skaven War Litter

I normally don't stray outside of chaos, orcs, and spacemarines very often when doing commission work. My thoughts are build what you like so it doesn't become a job, but is something that is fun. Then someone that I've done work for in the past approached me with the idea of doing a war litter for his upcoming Skaven army.

I immediately thought Stormvermin, and thought this would be a fun and cool project.
It does fit on a 40mm base which works well with the Skaven.

Doing this project has given me some ideas on what to do with my orcs for fun.

Now I also have a bunch of blades and more Storm Vermin to use up as left overs. Maybe I'll build another and I have an idea for all of those Storm Vermin Halbred blades that ought to look really cool on some Chaos Spacemarines and Knights.

I thought about using a chariot for the basis, but as you said its somewhat restrictive. Still I think it would work well.

I actually sketched this idea for use with my goblins originally, I think it worked better with the skaven. I've decided to build another and think it will probalby turnout a bit better yet. I still plan to build a couple for my orc army, just because it has so much modeling potential.

About Me

I've been involved in the hobby of war gaming now for approximately 20 years. I was the GW 2008 Chicago GT Best Appearance winner in Fantasy, and have collected a number of Rogue Demon awards over the years at Adepticon from their painting contests. Mike Butcher and I were the winners of 2012 Adepticon WAB Team event. My primary interest lies in the modeling of the miniatures. I love cool looking armies and miniatures and terrain. And I also occassionally throw down the dice.
So if you like conversions and paint like I do, that is what you will get here. From Warhammer Fantasy to 40k to Historicals.
